hey guys i need recemendations on how to build a custom character of what i perfer

want a combo of archer for long range ( good accuracy , silent kills , sneak skills etc) , mage for mid range combat ( freezing ememies , elemental attacks , summoning , restoration of haelth , magica etc ) , warrior it the action gets to close ( skilled at both blocking and striking etc ), good at alchemy , weapon cratsman

YOU GET THE IDEA RIGHT !!!!?

assording to my understandiing a

Dunmer, also known as the Dark Elves, are a race many of the other races look down upon. They are blue skinned red eyed elves and tend to have a bit of an attitude. However, the Dunmer make very versatile warriors with the ability to use blades, bows or magicka without too much of an issue. They're naturally resistant to fire and take the time to honor their ancestors that fell before them. Racial Starting Stats
  1. +10 Destruction
  2. +5 Alchemy
  3. +5 Illusion
  4. +5 Alteration
  5. +5 Light Armor
  6. +5 Sneak
Racial Abilities
  1. Resist Fire: 50% resistant to fire.
  2. Ancestor'sB Wrath: For 60 seconds, enemies that get too close take 8 fire damage per second.
Extra Starting Spell

- Sparks: Lightning that does 8 points of shock damage to health and magicka per second.

this the the best race for my character ?? what do you guys think and recomend ???

I'll recommend you the Breton master race. The reason is that Bretons had a innate +25% magic resistance, which combined with the +15% permanent bonus of the Mara quest in Riften and the +25% of the Lord stone makes very easy to reach the +85% magical resistance limit, saving space in the item enchantments to other purpouses.

The racial bonus in this game are pretty much irrelevent, and the only really good racial skill of "one use at day" is the X2 damage bonus from the Orks. So my ecomendation is: use a Breton or a Ork.

Oh, also: this is not like Oblivionin which you can made a level 20 character that is perfect in both melee, ranged shots and spells, you must pretty much focus on a couple of areas (i.e.: melee + magic, bow + magic, bow + melee) or you will find yourself with a weak character in every area. Build maybe a bow+thief+mage character, but don't try to add a warrior to the mix or you will have problems, specially in very hard.

Personally I choose to use a heavy armor- battle axe wielding warrior also skillful in bow, sneak and locking with no magic skills, instead of the all-in-one board & sword conjurer warrior that i did run in Oblivion.

Pick an Orc or a Breton if you want a powerul race.

But really pick anything you want, the game is easy enough as it is. Especially if you max alch, ench and smithing. And pick the right perks in those trees. That way you will be able to do 500 damage per strike (not including extra damge from enchantments) and have over 1k armor. My suggestion is just to pick a race that interests you.

The choice of race really doesn't make a difference. The starting stats are mostly meaningless, and your choice of race doesn't change anything in the world.

The only real difference between them is the racial, and even then, they're not huge game-changers. If you're determined to have the absolute best character though, don't pick Dunmer because their racial is crap.

Short version: pick whatever sounds 'right' for your character, or whatever you like the look of. They're all basically the same.

I don't care with any of that.

If I want to roleplay I play with my Nord. Otherwise, I play with the lizard humanoid which name I can't remember now.

Like any RPG, the starting attributes associated with any class are easily outweighed by your preferred gear and playstyle. Any self respecting RPG would allow for that degree of flexibility.

NORD, because choosing other races will make you feel less of a dragonborn.
